About Ambistryn S 0.75 gm Injection

Ambistryn S 0.75 gm Injection belongs to the group of medicines called 'anti-tuberculosis', primarily used to treat and prevent bacterial infections like tuberculosis (TB), pneumonia, influenza, plague and other infections. Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs but can also spread to other body parts such as the kidneys, brain, spine, and bone marrow. Ambistryn S 0.75 gm Injection does not work against infections caused by the virus.

Ambistryn S 0.75 gm Injection contains Streptomycin, an antibiotic that prevents the production of an enzyme known as mycolic acids by bacteria essential for cell wall formation (protective coating).

However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Ambistryn S 0.75 gm Injection or other medicines. Disclose your doctor before taking Ambistryn S 0.75 gm Injection if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
